Looks like that bezel is $50 and Android tablets are easily found under $100 so pretty cheap to give it a try.

Dammit, now I've got another project to add to my never-ending list lol
You could probably pick up a Nexus tablet the last gen was a 7", have one at home and my wife uses just to watch our Nest Cams. There was some discussion on tablet use on the forum awhile back about loading a custom ROM and a few apps you could use that allows the same functions as the buttons. This way the bezel could cover them and no need to do any extra mods.
